This chapter investigates the potential benefits of composite materials in a crash considering the changing landscape of safety and sustainability requirements. The current state of the art for traffic safety, and more specifically passive safety, is studied and current safety requirements are highlighted. During a crash incidence the body in white (BIW) of a vehicle must protect the passengers and other crash partners, and reduce the crash severity by allowing controlled energy dissipation through structure deformation. With the advent of more and more batteries in hybrids and electric vehicles, passive safety requirements are likely to change for both side and rear crashes. Composite materials may offer many potential benefits for improving crashworthiness. Most of the work in composite materials for crash applications has focused on several key metrics to access the relative performance of a given structure for energy absorption.
